But even then there is manipulation. There is no objectivity in film. Even if
you simply set up a camera in the middle of a field and set the
shutter to go off at random intervals, you've already manipulated the outcome
by choosing that particular field, that particular day, that
particular focal length, and that particular film. Throw in the myriad of
automatic decisions made in ANY type of film processing, and the
end result is always a manipulation of the original image.
